Kelly Jordan Dubbed ‘Spoonman’

     Few of us still throw spoons as a primary tool and even more of us had forgotten that they were in our tackle box. That was until Kelly Jordan re-opened our eyes last year on the TV show, Ultimate Match Fishing when he used his convented Joe Spaits Spoon to quickly fill the box within minutes. If that’s not proof enough, try the century mark (100 lbs.) with a 10 fish limit over two days on Lake Fork. That’s what KJ did with the same spoon. I think he has earned himself the title ‘Spoonman’!

     Pete Robbins wrote an article about KJ and the history of how the spoon came about to be a KJ staple. To read the story, click here.

    I took that picture of Donnie and KJ. I have fished tournaments with the article author and he has taught me a lot of what I know. His articles are informative and helpful. Donnie is the man! By the way OORAH Eric!
